制浆造纸废水对水生生物急性毒性研究

目前我国工业废水排放的监督和管理主要以理化监测为主,而理化分析并不能实际反映出水污染源对水体中受害生物的综合毒害强度。该研究同时采用鱼类急性毒性试验、溞类急性毒性试验、发光细菌急性毒性试验和藻类生长抑制试验测定制浆造纸排放废水的生物毒性大小,根据上述毒性实验所测定的半数效应的体积百分比浓度,筛选出对该行业废水最为敏感的毒性试验方法和试验生物,同时结合毒性单位法和废水中的常规污染物浓度与特征污染物对该排放废水进行了综合评价。试验结果表明:该制浆造纸废水对斑马鱼的96 h LC50为33.24%、33.33%和32.96%,属中毒;对大型溞的48 h LC50为27.01%和37.47%,属中毒;对青海弧菌Q67的15 min EC50远远小于10%,属高毒或剧毒;对斜生栅藻的96 h EC50为50%~100%,属低毒。可见,发光细菌毒性试验方法对制浆造纸废水最为灵敏;同时测定4类生物急性毒性的方法为建立我国重点废水排放行业的生物毒性监测方法体系和适合不同污染源废水的试验生物目录库奠定了基础;虽然部分制浆造纸废水的理化指标已经达标,但是其生物毒性较强,这说明采用生物毒性监测配合理化监测方法监测水污染源排放的废水,才能更深刻了解污染物对水生态环境的实际影响,水生生物毒性试验是化学试验的必要补充。

测定水中总氮的消解方法

废水中总氮测定的预处理一般采用经典的压力蒸汽灭菌器消解,其缺点是消解时间较长、操作较为繁锁。经多次试验并查阅了相关资料,可以用COD消解仪、电热恒温干燥箱和微波炉代替压力蒸汽灭菌器进行消解。在保证测量准确性和精度的前提下,可以节约时间、简化操作步骤,提高工作效率。

Metal-free graphene-based catalytic membranes for persulfate activation toward organic pollutant removal: a review

Owing to their ultrathin two-dimensional structure and efficient catalytic ability for persulfate activation, graphene-based nanocarbons exhibit considerable application potential in fabricating carbonaceous composite membranes for in situ catalytic oxidation to remove organic pollutants. This approach offers significant advantages over conventional batch systems. However, the relationships between the physicochemical properties of carbon mats and performance of graphene-based catalytic membranes in water purification remain ambiguous. Herein, we summarize the main mechanisms of in situ catalytic oxidation and the facile fabrication strategies of carbonaceous composite membranes. Different factors influencing the performance of graphene-based catalytic membranes are comprehensively discussed. The defective level, heteroatom doping, and stacking morphology of carbon mats and operational conditions during filtration play critical roles in the oxidative degradation of target pollutants. Long-term operation leads to the deterioration of catalytic activity and transmembrane pressure, especially in the complex water matrix. Finally, the present challenges and future perspectives are presented to improve the anti-fouling performance and catalytic stability of membranes and develop scalable fabrication methods to promote the engineering applications of in situ catalytic oxidation in real water purification.
